"The funky-looking Lexus NX offers a comfortable drive, an excellent interior and a big boot, but appeal is limited with the lack of a diesel engine."

[@YeHenryTian]

I think you forgot to mention one big thing for a Lexus: Reliability!!

[@peacegod101]

+Firemarioflower Forget reliability, just look at the interior of the NX. It just looks so much cheaper than on a German rival with too many cheap plasitics.

[@bighands69]

+peacegod101 I own a Lexus and an Audi and there is not difference with interior quality.

[@bighands69]

+Firemarioflower Car recalls have nothing to do with reliability. Every manufacturer has had a recall of some form. Toyota cars are the most reliable on the road. They will easily out perform other brands.

[@UnseenSpirit]

Firemarioflower you can look at jdpower and car consumer reports. Toyota and lexus are always in the top 3 or 4 around most countries... These are for 3 year old cars or more. There will always be recalls and teething problems, but there are more for other companies according to reports and studies. No company will be without fault though.

[@stevethea5250]

UnseenSpirit MAZDA doing well these days. Sucks no Android Auto yet on TYT/Lexus. Impacting their sales tbh

[@mcscotty325]

There's nothing more luxurious than a Lexus hybrid. Serenity and comfort.

[@RevLexus]

Very true! I just uploaded a video on the 2020 NX if you fancy it?

[@SnazMC]

Disgusted at all these people saying the cars ugly. Please get the fuck into the 21st century.

[@tuolumne9]

You have really bad tastes don't you. I bet you don't know what Hermes is.....ugh

[@pedropedrosoy9890]

I am disgusted to see people with bad taste in design. Where is the fucking proportions???!

[@foxtrot_oscar]

[@SnazMC]

Congratulations for replying to a 9 month old post. I further congratulate you on the wonderful, yet totally incorrect spelling.

[@ektpuahify]

Driving one, just keep turning heads. Great fuel economy, gorgeous looks, proven Lexus reliability.

[@banno69]

What is your average real world economy?

[@polak1982]

​@@banno6930.8mpg😂😂😂

[@maheshmurali2697]

Wow can't believe this car was launched almost 4 years ago its still looks gorgeous and futuristic

[@AtkoYo]

I just bought the 2020 because it STILL looks GREAT!

[@armink9686]

I love how people compare it to the Macan all the time... No shit the Macan is better, but it costs 50 percent more.

[@jkc877]

Armin K Yeah why compare the two is beyond me. In Canada one starts at 41k, not really requiring any upgrades, whereas the Macan will put you close to 65-70k after upgrades. True you could buy it stock at 55k but that price difference can buy a 2nd car.

[@peacegod101]

+Armin K Sorry dude, the Macan is 50 percent a better car. It's not as ugly as the NX. It's interior looks and feels much posher. It drives and handles and rides so much better. Lexus are stupid thinking that they can compete with the Germans cause they simply cannot.

[@armink9686]

peacegod101 Well obviously they can... When German sponsored journalists compare your vehicles to German wagens, you're onto something. The NX compares to X3-Q5 and GLC, and it does rather well.

[@armink9686]

notformebeaky Or are you just ignorant? Look at the funding of big automotive journals/magazines.

[@armink9686]

notformebeaky You don't seem to understand how business and marketing works. A private magazine does not have to be totally objective, it recieves money from car makers to be featured on the cover, or several pages of a magazine. In exchange for that money, not only do they get the space they requested but they also get kind words from the journalist who rely on the company's money to get a salary. If with this clear explanation you still do not understand, then you either are naive or you are stupid.

[@Slimecrazy234]

I've found this channel has become very bias against non-euro brands, and this review was terrible, not on the part of the NX, but from Mat, which is a surprise to say the least. Sounds like you liked the car in many ways but had to find downsides to justify it as inferior. The comment regarding hybrids and diesels couldn't be more wrong. Hybrids perform best in city stop and go driving. Diesels are more advantageous on long highway commutes. Which is better depends on the sort of driving you do. Buying a diesel over a hybrid for stop and go driving is not a good idea. A good review would have pointed this out to potential buyers, instead of allow the bias for all things european, i.e. the diesel way of doing things in this case, to cloud the judgement. The comment over the ride was surprising, considering most US based reviews have praised the NX's ride. Perhaps Lexus needlessly firmed the suspension for the Euro market, but then again you'd be probably complaining that the handling isn't as sharp with a softer suspension. No mention of handling in this review. Finally, you cannot compare an NX to a Macan. I guess it's a good sign when you have to reach that high to put the NX down, but a Macan starts at 40,000 GBP while the NX starts at 29,000 GBP. Of course no mention of value or price when you brought up the Macan. Or the relative fuel economy (32-43mpg w/ 175 g/km CO2 in the Macan vs. 56.g mpg w/ 117 g/km CO2 in the NX). Yes the price of running rings around another car is fuel economy and emissions, potential buyers may be interested to know. I imagine most people are more interested in running costs in a family SUV over street race capability.

[@sic22l]

They're not biased because when they criticize they use arguments. They point out good things as well. Since Americans , Europeans, Australians etc. are looking for something different in their cars. Therefore Carbuyer tests cars from European point of view, where interior quality, refinement, mature/sporty handling and agile drivetrains are quite important. For city stop and go driving Europeans use public transport, those living outside city also spend some time on the highway where diesel makes much more sense than a hybrid. US reviews were praising the fact that the ride is smooth and quiet American style - on a wide flat highways. With some corners, bumps and overtaking on tight British roads things don't looks as good anymore. They compared it to Porsche because the Macan is the benchmark in terms of handling in this class. Real world fuel consumption is also very close. Mat also mentioned that BMW X3 or Audi Q5 have more comfy suspensions. Also their diesel engines are more economical in real life. Running costs are similar, Lexus is a premium brand and at least in Europe charges premium for service, spare parts etc.

[@nafslee]

Try the less biased Autogefuhl - Germans doing reviews in English. Long and comprehensive but less annoying than carbias, I mean carbuyer....

[@stevethea5250]

He went to car wow now

[@humbertoamorim8130]

I'm late to the party but this comment was 10/10

[@fabolvaskarika7940]

You made some really good point...

[@nicolasmikah4168]

I like this reviewer, unbiased and professional

[@fahhad17]

you forgot tell tell most important thing mr.. bmw , audi rangerover will break after 3 years!!! and you sale it quarter of price or fix it for big buk..... lexus will keep driving ....and driving.... retain its value ;)

[@asimiq9195]

Firemarioflower why you trying to force people into buying german everyone has different taste not all of us want to buy a bmw or as i like to call it (big money worries)

[@123ChrisG]

@notformebeaky you obviously don't know much about the car manufacturer industry.

[@lex_uss]

totally agree!

[@lex_uss]

Exactly mate.!

[@fikofikret1522]

@notformebeaky actually matt makes videos about most unreliable and reliable cars. Guess what lexus is in the top 3 most reliable car ever and no other european car is close to top 3

[@CheekyCultured]

Finally, there is a new video from carbuyer.

[@29reload]

He is over exaggerating some of the negative points. Having test driven this car myself I feel it was not that different to its rivals and I really liked it. Test drive it yourself and do not believe everything this guys says. Remember this is a car for keep cause it out does its competition with lexus' reliability. Bmws, evoque, audi are just disposal thrills. Own one for 2 to 3 years and things start going down hill and you're left having to pay big bills for repairs. At least with the lexus you won't have to worry too much about this.

[@petitflocon647]

It is funny. Lexus is selling more and more, and in same time there is more and more jalousing frustrated hater kids making hates comments on Lexus reviews. It is like for Audi or Mercs and BMW. That mean Lexus have reached the top ranks 👍. Sorry for yo haters.. and nevermind, none of you have money to own one 👅. You hatin'... Lexus keep rollin' 🙏

[@omoniyikaye]

loo lolo LEXUS all day long a user since 2003 nothing come close for luxury and reliability. Ten years Lexus drives like s new car they made them to last forever. A poor man Royce rolls what a car.

[@itsminseok]

Awesome video!!

[@shaarvinkumaran9809]

love this car

[@maxlresende8527]

Hey Matt, I'm from Brazil. It would be great to have an answer from you about my indecision over my next car. I'm beetween buying a brand-new Hyundai ix 35 or a Land Rover Discovery 3 2008. Any advice? Ps: here, in Brazil those 2 cars are the same prince, due to the difference of age. Thanks. I really enjoy your channel! Big fan!

[@kimoykalinago4154]

Great review!

[@darksideofmind91]

Mat, you're the best reviewer ever xD

[@FiredEmpire]

7:07 You are wrong Matt, this car does have an electric auto rear seat folding feature.

[@thegamer4646]

I want this Lexus NX as my family car. They’re so far £17k. Should I finance it? Any advice? Is the maintenance cheap? Because so far this is our first option for a family SUV.

[@akie64]

Love this new Lexus, stunning design!

[@RevLexus]

me too!

[@papoopa5800]

I can’t wait for a redesign of this car

[@lalalo41]

We had the Lexus IS-F which had the same problem with the throttle response. When you pressed the throttle it paused a sec. And then gave its power. Quite strange...

[@teamsalvation]

I really like the NX. Not that they compare, but my 2014 Prius has the same "hesitation" on sudden acceleration. Even in "power" mode. And, yes, I have lost the opportunity to overtake because of this.

[@rscars1948]

You lost the ability to overtake because its a Prius (haha jk).

[@motorman6157]

If u bought a prius for economy swap it for a 3 series cuz top gear took a prius round the track followed by a m3 and overall the m3 got best economy

[@motorman6157]

Don't believe me watch the one gallon fuel crisis race and with a 3 series u won't have the overtaking problem

[@foxtrot_oscar]

motor man because the prius was flat out

[@Jett21887]

May, would you review on NX new model? I eager to see it on your channel.

[@neilbarnett3046]

My Lexus dealer lent me one while my old GS300 was being serviced. I enjoyed it, loads of room for anything and smooth drive. I just wish I could afford to buy one, I retired, so there's no more money to come.

[@wishdj]

How about reviewing the Mercedes GLA or possibly the GLA 45 AMG?

[@AdamAus85]

Good looking car.

[@BokiXI]

Just bought one 2nd hand today. After sitting in the passenger seat for 2 min I was convinced. I am driving a 2015 5-series, diesel. And no more diesel for me.

[@ozerkocak1779]

What is the renge of electro motor and how fast can I drive with electric power?

[@soheilalavirad7610]

Great review, a bit biased that’s ok we’re all biased anyway. About acceleration I think if you put it in sports mode it reacts much faster since it prioritizes the acceleration over fuel economy.

[@damienkearns9922]

This is one review I was waiting for. The appearance is always going to be very much down to the individual - personally I have to say I like it. What concerns me MORE is MPG...30/31mpg! WHAT! I'm not a hard driver but with my Evoque I used to get a consistent 37mpg, are Hybrids focusing on CO2 emissions rather than MPG - which would be a real shame. I'll leave it in the shopping trolley for the moment along with the X4 and Q5 until I drive it myself. The one thing I'd expect is excellent reliability. Great review as always - helps give food for thought.

[@th3m3du54]

I think you have to drive like a maniac to only get 31mpg. 47 should be more realistic…

[@fpeter6365]

I love this and the new IS

[@simonshusse]

Actually, that pause when you put your foot down is just such a deal killer for me.

[@INUMIMI28]

I hate when this guy reviews Japanese car, he makes that "I hate to make good compliment about it" face

[@nafslee]

Well to be fair, he actually does or did own a Lexus NX. He mentioned it in a different video.

[@stevethea5250]

Nowhere good to put phone!

[@traceguchess]

This is gorgeous

[@emjayay]

Modern cars not having a spare tire is horrible. If you get a nail (usual reason for deflation) in it, you can reinflate and seal with the can of Fix-a-Flat they come with. Then you have to buy a new tire to get it to balance instead of just getting it plugged. If you get a cut in the sidewall (happened to me), you are stuck and have to be towed. Not good if you are actually offroad or just in some obscure location. I don't mind the space saver, which at least gets you out of there while saving weight and fuel over the years.

[@mrafeht]

I do enjoy these reviews but would appreciate performance figures, 0-62mph, top speed, etc. Also how about the cost figures?

[@thebadmanreturns]

love it

[@Hesbonful]

Can the side compartments fit a water Mellon ?🤔

[@muhammadrifkyalfandi6628]

I quite like this car

[@chih-chiachang4873]

Yes

[@pdalia]

Matt, mind why there's so much interest over Diesel engines on uk ? Is it for tax free exemptions " Eco drive or both ? Thanks , just see all your videos from far (far) away , always wondered why diesel is so important there. Cheers.

[@sic22l]

They're fun to drive and still very economical in real life which is very important because fuel in the UK is one of the most expensive in the world. Even though diesel fuel is slightly more expensive than regular gasoline, overall savings are substantial. There's also road tax which depends on CO2 emissions and since diesels are very economical, emissions (and therefore road tax) are pretty low.

[@Lipsmacker6]

I test drove the 2016 today and I must say majority of the negative comments are puzzling to me. Anyone who states that the interior looks cheap seems to not have actually been inside this car. It definitely is not cheap looking. So please anyone who is interested just go see it for yourself. And those who call it cheap and ugly don't mock it unless you have seen it in person and taken a test drive.

[@dopadamfillenz]

He doesn't mention any of the advantages of the hybrid drivetrain... like it uses less elements than diesels or petrols so you get lower price maintenance, the brakes will work a lot longer also, etc. So this review is favouring the germans... as always with carbuyer and it's sister sites. Not a well thought review at all in my opinion.

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

if there is no driveshaft going to the rear, why is there still a small tunnel?

[@Ktmzqw]

***** True, especially about the chassis. The car is built on the Toyota MC platform, which is a FWD one, but can be altered to fit RWD and AWD behicles. The current one fro the NX is a revised version that the Lexus RX, a conventional 4WD was built on, just like the RAV4 is too.

[@gandalfwiz20007]

***** most small VW have that "transmission tunnel", Golf ,Jetta...

[@FrederickGFX]

It looks like Acura is going to pick up where Lexus left off as the purveyor of understated luxury. Minimal designs were working just fine for them, so I don't understand why they felt the need to go to such extremes in terms of styling.

Of course people buy SUV's for the extra space and room. come on chap, I actually enjoy your reviews but recently the comments are getting more and more silly. How can an SUV offer the same boot space as a hatchback!?

[@fedswithful]

And I don't want an SUV to turns heads (couldn't care less about what our people think) it's for the extra room than my hatch, more room when seated, better visibility when driving. This guy is a dropkick.. well done carbuyer another shitty review..

[@SIMcityplayer2002]

He means back seat not boot. The Volkswagen Touareg has around the same back seat space as a Passat, same with the Tigian (however you spell it) and Golf.

steve blow it corrodes, specially fast when winter roads are salted.

[@eternalhalloween1]

For what it is, it looks like a nice SUV.

[@Mister_H]

What a shame, I was so looking forward to this review and possible purchase. Why haven't Lexus got the ride sorted. My Q5 S Line Plus on 20" wheels has a brilliant ride, yet the Lexus is only on 18's and hasn't. Also I am pretty sure there are seat release catches in the boot after seeing other KZbin clips, there are small toggles just inside the opening by the lights... isn't that them?

[@Mister_H]

As an update, I had my test drive and I have to agree with Matt that the ride is the worst aspect of an otherwise great car. Such a shame. Matt is also right about not being able to drop the seats from within the boot, another oversight. The reviews I saw had electric back sets which could be dropped from within the boot, cabin or back seats.

[@tuolumne9]

Simple, because the Q5 is an A4 derivative, whereas the NX is a RAV4

[@holeong933]

[@dr.karelis2198]

i ve driven the car for 30 km it sucks bad, i totally disagree that its well isolated cause on greek roads tire roll wont let you have a conversation , the suspension is catastrofic and every time you pass through a road anomaly the whole car pops alot and leaves a terrible sound like when something heavy hits the floor in your living room, CVT is a total failure, you cant understand when the car is going and when is not, and finally the noise of the motor is so strong and hillarious cause it sounds like youre driving a 1000 cc smart thats struggling to get some speed.I ve test drived the 2.5 hybrid petrol version with 197 hp and it sucks totally.

[@emjayay]

The US model is a little more normal around the fog lights or whatever those are. Very Japanese style oversculptured. It's weird that Japanese art and gardens and flower arranging are very aesthetic and austere, and the cars have always generally been assemblages of design cues from BMW and Mercedes, or original for the sake of being original and overdone. I know that car companies these days may have designers on staff from various countries, and studios in California etc., but it always comes out that way anyway. I wouldn't want to be seen in this, and that is the ultimate test.

[@Ioanides001]
